The guy had guts - even after Putin poisoned him and he was out of the Country he went back to what he had to know was a death sentence. So many of these countries that had been under dictatorships still can’t shake them off and revert back. Democracy didn't last long in Russia.

Paraphrasing Carlson, leaders have to kill sometimes. So, you know - kill.

Oh - and we are full of idiotic sheep.

Of course we are, it's just cute you only see, or point it out, on one side. And without fail.

The Navalny team said they will be looking to the opposition transfer portal for his replacement .

Well, now they’re arresting those who protest Navalny’s death or are putting flowers/ candles on monuments.

The irony of monuments to Soviet government oppression being located right outside the FSB (former KGB) buildings where they are currently surrounded by police arresting anyone who wants to put flowers on them. Welcome to Russia.

Always good stuff with Judge Napolitano and Col. Douglas Macgregor. Also, recommend his other guests, especially Scott Ritter, Larry Johnson, Ray McGovern, and Phil Giraldi.

Putin's useful idiot
I found Carlson’s commentary interesting when he was on Fox but he’s turned into a 21st century Paul Robenson and Lillian Hellman praising the regime by visiting Potemkin grocery stores and ignoring the Gulag/

He prefers dictatorship over democracy.

Admired his courage.....wish he would have stayed in Germany and continued to speak out for many happy and healthy years
It’s sad that Navalny obviously felt that becoming a martyr would do more for his cause than becoming an exiled critic.

He made his choice and here we sadly are. It’s TBD whether his choice was correct. My hunch is that his sacrifice won’t matter much.
